Really? Was that a long time ago?
Seems to me he and Gearbox have been in lots of shit for a while now (the infamous USB drive, serious plagiarism accusations when Borderlands did an artistic 180 during development, Alien : Colonial Marines released broken as hell after funneling its funding to make BL2, Duke Nukem Forever…)
And every time Pitchford’s (mostly unnecesary) public answer has been terrible.
Shit, I hadn’t even noticed that. I just assumed those were identical.

It’s a bit fun to imagine that. People of the future playing a game that would be sci-fi to us, but really to them it’s like Oregon Trail.
By the time they launch, they’ll have a game with 8k textures and everyone else will be releasing games for Star Trek’s holodeck.
Konami id more about ruining everything they have the rights to, but I guess that makes them kind of complementary, yeah.
And original timeline Garfield trying to find him across dimensions created “I’m sorry Jon”.
Because of the nature of generative AI, anyone selling it is in the mindset of making money out of stuff they had no rights to.
By that definition, it’s a massive crossover whenever McDonald’s does a pokémon happy meal. These may be popular IPs, but that’s not like there aren’t stuff like that all the time.
That’s a massive crossover?
I only catch an episode once on a while when it happens to be running on TV, but I’ve actually seen episodes in which the characters point at how absurd it is that so many murders happen all the time there.
In French it’s still commonly referred to as the dead man’s seat.
It’s from before seatbelts were common, so it was the most dangerous in case of crash, with absolutely nothing to stop you from going through the windshield.
It may not be what that person meant, but, I kinda agree it might be a factor. The free experience has done nothing but become more and more terrible on youtube. The ads have become truly insufferable, and the UI is actively working against you. TV app in particular is borderline unwatchable.
I have always watched YouTube for free, and I am at a point where I am considering ditching the thing completely, because I am not paying another (quite expensive) subscription for it. I haven’t yet, but it has certainly slowed down how much I watch.
It’s so bad it’s even questioning some uses I had for the platform. I used to watch a video while I eat, stuff like that. What’s the point if I barely make it out of the initial ad tunnel just before dessert? And when I pause for just a minute to get something, I am immediately hit with another ad break as I resume?
I’m not even sure I get the point this comic is trying to make.
It sounds vaguely like an impossible standards kind of thing, except, well, having a job, any job, is kind of a reasonable expectation. And if it’s specifically a commentary about standards held by women, since the only context clue we have on who these are is “Ladies”… it sounds like incel-ish complaining.
Development is more than writing code.
Why are they even assuming someone would want to impersonate meta Zuckerberg?
Went from “never before seen AAAA game made by a studio with unlimited resources” to “everyone’s fired, everything’s cancelled, fuck off to another publisher if you can, and by the way we’re keeping the IP so go explain that to them, too.”
Good job, Microsoft, thank you very much for buying half the videogame industry before deciding it wasn’t worth it.
Freud was definitely influential, and definitely full of shit, so that tracks. Psychoanalysis is completely empirical, written as an unattackable dogma rather than science, and has been proven without any beneficial effect as a treatment on most psychological troubles. But because Freud was so influential, especially in France, almost all French psych universities are teaching his bullshit first and almost exclusively.
Also, the amount of shit he’s written leads to modern day psychoanalysts with absolute horrors of diagnoses like “it’s that kid’s mother’s fault that they have autism, because she loves them wrong”.
In two months Skyrim will be 14.
And don’t get me started on F-Zero.
